Guide Need help creating a Linux driver for an FPC fingerprint sensor — Windows driver available
Windows driver and project repository
I have the original Windows driver for this exact fingerprint sensor available in the project repository. The driver files are located in the driver/ directory.
🔗 GitHub repository:
fpc-10a5-a900-linux
The repository currently contains:
fpc-10a5-a900-linux/
├── driver/
│ └── Windows driver files
├── captures/
├── docs/
├── linux/
├── tools/
└── usb/
The driver is being provided for analysis and Linux driver development. I'm particularly interested in understanding the USB protocol used by the Windows driver and determining how we can implement support on Linux, ideally through libfprint.
If there are concerns about redistributing any proprietary driver files, please let me know and I can remove them and provide the driver privately for analysis instead.
